Full Blue Moon Paddle on the Petaluma River

A Blue Moon doesn’t come around often—and neither does the chance to experience Sonoma County from the water after dark.

This guided Blue Moon Paddle / Pedal with The Floathouse Petaluma takes place on the Petaluma River, a tidal waterway that reveals a quieter, more reflective side at night. Guests travel by Hobie pedal kayak, gliding effortlessly about a mile and a half downriver to a peaceful viewing spot where the full moon rises over surrounding wetlands. Just steps from downtown, The Floathouse Petaluma dock rests on the water, so you have an easy "commute" from your evening in town!

Designed to be relaxed and accessible, this nighttime paddle emphasizes ease, connection, and the simple pleasure of moving across moonlit water. The experience is beginner-friendly and social, offering a memorable way to reconnect with nature and enjoy Sonoma County beyond the usual daytime hours.

All gear is provided, including pedal kayak, PFD, safety lights, and an experienced guide. For visitors and locals alike, this rare Blue Moon paddle offers a uniquely Petaluma way to experience the glory of nature in Sonoma County.
